Computer Lab Friday

Tuesday, January 21, 2015

Definitions of terms are due at the beginning of class tomorrow. Tomorrow is Thursday.

Here is a literary terms handbook just in case you are having a hard time finding a definition or example. 

Before the end of Thursday's class I expect you to have Step Two complete as well. That is categorizing the terms.

All students were assigned two terms they must find examples of, then choose one of those terms to teach to the class. You will teach the class your terms early next week. 

Friday, we are in the computer lab. We will be working toward completing project proposals. Please have an idea of what you want to work on!
